SuBo, 52, said that she had made the decision to tour because she finally felt confident enough to perform a 90-minute set.

She said: “I’m really looking forward to getting on stage and singing with my own band for an entire show.

“This is the year that I feel that I would be able to give an audience what they want. I’ve always wanted to do my own show and now I feel confident enough to give it a go.

“If this works well, then the world is my oyster and 2014 will be a global tour. I’ve chosen my favourite songs from past albums and also new songs that not only have I wanted to perform for years, but resonate with me, and I hope my fans will love.”

Susan, who found fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 and has sold 19 million copies of her four albums around the world, added: “I wanted to begin in Scotland to say thank you for all the support I have been shown over the past few years. It feels right to begin another new experience in my home country.”

Her tour launches on July 2 and features dates in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
